Cameras are often either marginal upgrades, or bursting through headlines with one new, highlighting feature. But with the Samsung NX1's release, it's hard to choose just one feature that makes this high-end mirrorless camera worth a look....

You pay a premium for small size, and that pretty much sums up the new Panasonic GM5. It's a capable camera, but it's a bit pricer (and smaller) than similar models.The Panasonic GM5 replaces last year's GM1, and there's not too ma...

We enjoyed reviewing the Olympus E-PL5 and gave it high marks for image quality--its replacement keeps a lot of the solid interior while giving the exterior a much welcomed makeover. The Olympus PEN E-PL7 includes advanced features like interchang...

It's no secret the point of mirrorless cameras is to pack big imaging power into small packages. Sony is one of the leaders in this area, and they seem to introduce a &quot;smallest yet&quot; camera every year. The 2014 Sony a5100 takes that &...

The Pentax Q line is one of the smallest, most colorful mirrorless lines on the market today. That line is expanding with the QS-1, a little reto-inspired shooter with a variety of creative modes and filters.The Pentax Q line has the smallest inte...

The Nikon 1 line uses smaller sensors then the competitors, but what the camera giant offers that others do not is speed, and lots of it. The Nikon 1 S2 is the more budget-friendly model over the sleeker 1 J4 and faster 1 V3, but it's still go...

As if Sony's announcement for a full frame mirrorless camera last fall wasn't enough, the camera giant is now offering the a7S that boasts 4K video and a top ISO of 409600. The a7s cut the megapixels in half to manage the 4K and higher ISO...

Introduced alongside the 1 S2, the Nikon 1 J4 is a small step up from the cheaper S2. The biggest difference to note is the touchscreen, which the S2 doesn't offer. The Nikon 1 J4 also adds a bit better battery life and a few more options for ...

Google Glass' weird &quot;wink to take a photo&quot; feature isn't just a strange concept anymore--the feature is now included, somewhat anyway, in the Samsung NX3000. Just turn the tilting LCD screen towards you and wink at the camera, an...

The Panasonic LUMIX GH4 is a mirrorless camera designed for professionals--particularly those who also dabble in videography too. The GH4 is the first compact camera system to offer 4K video, according to the manufacturer. The 4K video on the GH4 ...

Mirrorless cameras have been known for lagging behind DSLRs in autofocus speed; Sony is attempting to bridge the gap with a 179 point phase detection autofocus (there's also a 25 point contrast autofocus option). We haven't seen it in acti...

If cameras were cars, the Nikon 1 V3 would be the Hennessey Venom GT. With a whopping 20 fps burst mode and a 1/16,000 maximum shutter speed, it's no wonder that, just a day after it was announced, it was listed as Amazon's #1 seller in th...

Small and sleek is what Samsung was going for in their NX Mini, and they've certainly achieved those two aspects. The camera measures 4.3x2.4x.9 inches--which is certainly mini for an interchangeable lens camera. The small camera is wrapped in...

Sony's smallest interchangeable lens camera yet (at it's introduction in January 2014), the a5000 features a large APS-C size sensor in a body that weighs less than eight ounces. Sony is claiming the small shooter has features, including a...

The Fujifilm X-T1 combines some of the most intriguing features of today's most talked about cameras. The X-T1 has five mechanical dials for adjusting shutter speed, aperture, ISO and other features, similar to the controls on the Nikon Df. Th...

Olympus' mirrorless cameras are gaining ground as more photographers pick up on their excellent Micro Four Thirds line. The OM-D E-M10 is the manufacturer's more budget-freindly option and looks to still offer a lot of features. The E-M10 ...

Anybody who has shot with a full frame DSLR will undoubtedly be impressed the first time picking up the Sony a7R. Sony wasn't kidding when they said this shooter is the lightest interchangeable lens full frame camera on the market (whew, that&...

Samsung has, no question, the most connected cameras. The GN120 mirrorless is a 3G/4G camera that can also surf the web, use image editing apps, share images and even connect with other photographers who have shot at the same location. And to use ...

Fujifilm's X line is an excellent collection of high resolution mirrorless models. Their November 2013 model, the X-E2, emphasizes speed, particularly a snappy .08 second autofocus. Fujifilm claims the new processor doubles the processing spee...

The X-A1 is essentially a cheaper version of Fujifilm's popular X-M1 and the least expensive model in the mirrorless X line. The most notable difference between the X-M1 and the X-A1 is the sensor. The X-A1 still has the large, APS-C sensor, b...

The Nikon 1 AW1 is essentially the well-received 1 J3--except it's wrapped up in a waterproof package. As the first digital interchangeable lens camera to be not just sealed against rain, but approved to take underwater up to 49 feet without e...

Small and stylish is the name of the game for Pentax's new Q7 mirrorless. Marketed as the &quot;smallest, lightest interchangeable lens system in the world,&quot; the Q7 weighs only seven ounces, yet packs a pretty big punch with a 1/1.7&quot;...

Classic. Compact. Simple. There's a lot of great words to describe Fujifilm's X-M1&mdash;and very few bad ones. Fujifilm has really hit the mark with their 2013 classically styled mirrorless in two big ways&mdash;one, with the filterless A...

The camera market is saturated with mirrorless models&mdash;there are lots of them out there. And there are even a few $500 budget models. But budget models with an APS-C sized sensor (that's the same size used in entry level DSLRs) for under ...

The Nikon 1 line has always been the more compact of the mirrorless options, but the camera giant is now claiming the smallest interchangeable lens camera on the market with the 2013 introduction of the 1 J3. With a body as tall and wide as a poin...

Fujifilm has announced an update to their mirrorless line in the X-E1, which sits at a lower price point than the expensive X-Pro1 yet still houses the same 16 megapixel X-Trans sensor that, without an anti-aliasing filter, pulls amazing amounts o...

Olympus, along with Panasonic, helped to create the Micro Four Thirds standard and now they&rsquo;ve attempted to perfect it with their new model that improves both on the predecessors and other cameras in their lineup&mdash;it even includes the s...

The NEX-5R is the logical next step in the NEX-5 line, following on the heels of the highly successful 5N with a few choice upgrades. The sensor stays the same resolution, 16 megapixels, but gains a 99-point on-sensor phase detection array that qu...

The NEX-F3 camera is the logical upgrade to Sony's NEX-C3, replacing the former with a slightly thicker build but adding a couple much-needed features. First and most importantly, the F3 now has a built-in flash, eschewing the former's bul...
